Entry Fee:

$80 per pair – Attendance at both sessions is compulsory (includes a light lunch and the table fees for both morning and afternoon bridge sessions). Registrations close on Thursday, 19th February at midnight. Late registrations may be accepted at the discretion of the club if we need to make up even number of pairs.  Register on Hello Club using the links below or use the entry sheet in the Unley notice board.

How it works:

Scoring will be by match points (normal pairs scoring). Competitors will play a succession of 8 board matches, earning red master points for each match they win. 

A Swiss draw will be used for each round after the first, so from round two onwards, pairs will play against opponents with a similar aggregate. The field may be divided into sections during the lunch break.

Lunch Arrangements:

A light lunch will be provided. Tea and coffee are now available at the café bars in the main room and in the front lounge.  A vending machine in the front lounge also provides soft drinks and snacks.

Our club is located a short distance, approx 200m from the first Tram Stop (opp OTR station on King William St on the south side of Greenhill road towards Glenelg).
